Android 2.3 Gingerbread Update: More Release Date Hints

We have some exciting news for those of you patiently waiting for the first update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, as Google has just given off the clearest hint yet that a release is just around the corner.

As reported from Afterdawn, Google delivered a recent Twitter message to their fans which was obviously a huge reference to the impending announcement and unveiling of their follow-up software to Android 2.2 Froyo, which is still rolling out to smartphones as we speak.

Here is the Twitter message in full: ”Our cafes are baking up something sweet”. They then included a picture with the message, which shows a selection of Android-themed Gingerbread cookies.

This puts further weight behind the rumors that Gingerbread will be unveiled sometime next week, along with the official outing of the Samsung Nexus S smartphone. Let us know your thoughts on picture, are you desperate for some Gingerbread action on your handset?
